Question by no: Dealing with oily skin?
Hi, I know this topic is WAY overdone, but I thought it would be easiest to get answers if the question was asked by myself! So, I’ve just started getting really bad skin in September, and I’m not sure what to do. I tries using lush (didn’t do anything), then Clinique 3 step care thing, but maybe I was using it wrong because my condition kept getting worse. Now I’m using Biore’s new acne scrub, then a thin coat of the Clinique dramatically different moisturizing gel, then clearisil vanishing cream, but it still keeps getting worse. I mostly suffer from black head and nasty pink heads (in between full on zits and white heads). I also use Biore nose strips once a week. Oh, one more thing, I do not want to wear makeup, and don’t.

See a dermatologist. He/she will know what to do. Accutane can be taken in really low doses for long-term use to help oily skin.
Give your answer to this question below!
I would suggest you try using Jojoba Oil as it is almost identical organically-speaking to sebum, which is the natural oil produced by your skin. As well as being a great natural moisturizer it can also help with acne, Jojoba Oil penetrates into the skin without clogging pores and is suitable for all skin types it contains vitamin E and antioxidants which are great for fighting aging signs and moisturizing the skin.
Studies on jojoba oil show that it has the ability to prevent skin from becoming too oily. This is due to the fact that putting jojoba oil on our skin can trick our cells into thinking they have produced enough oil.
Remove any surface dirt from your skin, then put just a few drops of jojoba oil into your hand and rub it into your skin when you start to work jojoba oil into the skin, the oil penetrates into the pores. As jojoba closely resembles your skin’s own oil, moisturizing with jojoba oil sends the message to your pores to stop overproducing the sebum that causing the oily skin.
Initially to get rid of the stubborn deep blackheadsclogged pores, I would recommend that you use a baking soda/jojoba/water paste with extremely gentle circular massaging motions to break up the worst blackheads. Don’t overdo it, just massage in the baking soda/jojoba/water paste gently for a minute or two. Rinse with warm (not hot) water. Apply more jojoba oil and massage with a warm washcloth.
The idea is to get those plugs out (blackheads), and get the jojoba oil in there to keep the sebum liquid and flowing. This may take some time as the skin reacts to drying by pumping out oil, and the turnaround you’re going for is a natural distribution of oil which will leave your skin soft and balanced.
For the acne spotspimples:-
Tea Tree Essential oil it has great on acne as it has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. Simply put a couple of drops on a cotton bud and dot onto each spot. Don’t use it over your entire face as it can irritate the skin for some people.
Lavender Essential oil has well known antifungal and antiseptic properties and is widely used in treating acne. For that stubborn pimples lavender can be applied neat using a cotton bud or pad. Redness, swelling and irritation will be dramatically reduced.
The Lavender and tea tree if applying to larger areas, should be used in dilution for larger areas, I would recommend between 10-20 drops of essential oil to 50ml of jojoba oil.
Hope this helps!
